As a result, a person sees clearly up close, but distant objects become blurry and unfocused.<\/p>\n<p>The main cause is a mismatch between the optical power of the eye and its length. As the length of the eyeball increases or the refractive power of the cornea and lens increases, the focal point shifts forward.<\/p>\n<p>The higher the degree of myopia, the closer the point of clear vision is. This means it becomes increasingly difficult for a person to distinguish distant objects without correction.<br \/>\nNearsightedness can be congenital or acquired and most often develops gradually, beginning in childhood or adolescence.<\/p>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h4>Why does myopia develop<\/h4>\n<p>The prevalence of myopia has increased significantly in recent years, driven by changes in lifestyle and visual habits. Modern eye strain differs from the natural conditions in which the visual system developed, and this directly impacts eye growth.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Key factors include:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>prolonged close-up work (reading, smartphones, tablets)<\/li>\n<li>high eye strain without breaks<\/li>\n<li>insufficient natural light<\/li>\n<li>limited time spent outdoors<\/li>\n<li>genetic predisposition<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>When focusing at close range for long periods, the eye is under constant strain, which can stimulate its elongation. Insufficient natural light also impacts the regulation of eye growth and the functioning of the accommodative apparatus.<\/p>\n<p>Heredity is also important: if one or both parents have myopia, the risk of developing it in a child is significantly higher. It is the combination of these factors that creates the conditions for accelerated eye growth and the progression of myopia.<br \/>\nAccording to WHO projections, by 2050, every second person in the world will have some degree of myopia, making it one of the most pressing issues in modern ophthalmology.<\/p>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h4><strong><span style=\"color: #008080;\">Types of Myopia<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-30190 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/visus.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Tipuri-de-miopie.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"1536\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/visus.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Tipuri-de-miopie.webp 1536w, https:\/\/visus.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Tipuri-de-miopie-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/visus.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Tipuri-de-miopie-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/visus.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Tipuri-de-miopie-768x512.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1536px) 100vw, 1536px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>There are several mechanisms for the development of myopia, which determine the characteristics of the disease and the approach to its correction.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #008080;\">Axial myopia<\/span><\/strong> occurs when the length of the eyeball increases. In this case, the optical system of the eye may be normal, but due to the elongation of the eyeball, the focus shifts in front of the retina. This is the most common form, especially in children and adolescents, and is most often associated with the progression of myopia.<\/li>\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #008080;\">Refractive myopia<\/span><\/strong> is associated with increased refractive power of the cornea or lens. In this case, the length of the eye remains within the normal range, but the optical power of the eye is excessive, which also leads to the formation of an image in front of the retina.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #008080;\"><strong>Mixed myopia<\/strong><\/span> combines both mechanisms: an increase in eye length and an increase in its refractive power. This form requires more careful monitoring and individualized correction.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In practice, the axial form is more common, especially during periods of active growth. Therefore, monitoring the length of the eyeball is a key parameter in the monitoring of patients with myopia.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s important to consider that an increase in eye length of just 1 mm can increase myopia by approximately 3 diopters. This increase directly impacts the prognosis, risk of progression, and the likelihood of retinal complications.<\/p>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h4>Degrees of Myopia<\/h4>\n<p>Depending on the severity of myopia, there are several levels of myopia, which reflect not only the quality of vision but also the potential risks to the ocular structures.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #008080;\">Mild<\/span><\/strong> \u2014 up to -3.00 D<\/li>\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #008080;\">Moderate<\/span><\/strong> \u2014 from -3.25 to -6.00 D<\/li>\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #008080;\">High<\/span><\/strong> \u2014 more than -6.25 D<\/li>\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #008080;\">Extreme<\/span><\/strong> \u2014 more than -10.00 D<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As the degree of myopia increases, the strain on the ocular structures increases, and the risk of changes in the fundus increases. Even with moderate myopia, the risk of developing degenerative changes in the retina is higher compared to eyes of normal length, so it is important not only to correct vision but also to monitor the condition of the eye over time.<\/p>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h4>How does myopia manifest<\/h4>\n<p>Myopia develops gradually and may remain unnoticed in its early stages. The first signs are most often associated with decreased distance vision and are aggravated by prolonged visual strain.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Main symptoms:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>decreased distance vision<\/li>\n<li>need to squint<\/li>\n<li>rapid eye fatigue<\/li>\n<li>headaches with prolonged visual strain<\/li>\n<li>deterioration of vision in low light<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In the early stages, symptoms may be mild and only manifest during activity, such as reading or working on a computer.<br \/>\nAs myopia progresses, vision loss becomes more noticeable and begins to impact daily activities.<\/p>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h4>Myopia Progression<\/h4>\n<p>Myopia progression is a gradual increase in the degree of nearsightedness associated with changes in eye parameters, primarily its length. This process can occur at varying rates and requires regular monitoring, especially during periods of active growth.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The rate of progression is classified as follows:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #008080;\">rapid<\/span><\/strong> \u2013 more than 1 diopter per year<\/li>\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #008080;\">moderate<\/span> <\/strong>\u2013 0.5\u20131 diopter per year<\/li>\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #008080;\">stable<\/span><\/strong> \u2013 less than 0.5 diopter per year<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The rate of progression is influenced by age, visual stress, heredity, and lighting conditions.<br \/>\nMyopia progresses most rapidly during childhood and adolescence, so monitoring its progression is especially important during these periods.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Risks and Complications<\/h4>\n<p>As myopia increases, the stress on the ocular structures increases, increasing the risk of developing various complications. This primarily affects the retina, where degenerative changes, tears, and, in more severe cases, detachment can develop.<\/p>\n<p>Changes in the choroid and a gradual decline in central vision are also possible, especially with high myopia. These processes develop gradually and may not cause any noticeable symptoms in the early stages.<br \/>\nThis is why regular ophthalmological examinations are essential even in the absence of complaints, as they allow for early detection of changes and the prevention of serious complications.<\/p>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h4>Prevention and Monitoring<\/h4>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-30195 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/visus.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/\u041f\u0440\u043e\u0444\u0438\u043b\u0430\u043a\u0442\u0438\u043a\u0430-\u043c\u0438\u043e\u043f\u0438\u0438-scaled.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1703\" srcset=\"https:\/\/visus.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/\u041f\u0440\u043e\u0444\u0438\u043b\u0430\u043a\u0442\u0438\u043a\u0430-\u043c\u0438\u043e\u043f\u0438\u0438-scaled.webp 2560w, https:\/\/visus.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/\u041f\u0440\u043e\u0444\u0438\u043b\u0430\u043a\u0442\u0438\u043a\u0430-\u043c\u0438\u043e\u043f\u0438\u0438-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/visus.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/\u041f\u0440\u043e\u0444\u0438\u043b\u0430\u043a\u0442\u0438\u043a\u0430-\u043c\u0438\u043e\u043f\u0438\u0438-1024x681.webp 1024w, https:\/\/visus.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/\u041f\u0440\u043e\u0444\u0438\u043b\u0430\u043a\u0442\u0438\u043a\u0430-\u043c\u0438\u043e\u043f\u0438\u0438-768x511.webp 768w, https:\/\/visus.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/\u041f\u0440\u043e\u0444\u0438\u043b\u0430\u043a\u0442\u0438\u043a\u0430-\u043c\u0438\u043e\u043f\u0438\u0438-1536x1022.webp 1536w, https:\/\/visus.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/\u041f\u0440\u043e\u0444\u0438\u043b\u0430\u043a\u0442\u0438\u043a\u0430-\u043c\u0438\u043e\u043f\u0438\u0438-2048x1363.webp 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Preventing myopia and monitoring its progression play a key role in preserving vision, especially in childhood and adolescence.
